Phenolic cotton fabric rods, also known as phenolic cotton rods, are high-performance electrical insulating materials made by impregnating cotton fabric with phenolic resin and curing under heat and pressure. With excellent electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and heat resistance, these rods are widely used in transformers, switchgear, motors, and other electrical equipment.

| Property | Typical Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dielectric Strength | 20–30 kV/mm (surface) | High voltage insulation capability |
| Volume Resistivity | ≥10¹³ Ω·cm | Prevents current leakage through the material |
| Surface Resistivity | ≥10¹² Ω | Reduces surface leakage currents |
| Relative Permittivity (εr) | 4–6 | Ensures stable insulation under AC conditions |
| Loss Tangent (tanδ) | ≤0.02 | Minimizes energy loss in insulation |
| Operating Temperature | 120–150°C | Suitable for long-term transformer and motor operation |
| Short-term Heat Resistance | 180–200°C | Withstands occasional overloads |
| Water Absorption | ≤1% | Maintains electrical performance in humid environments |
